  • Perform integration testing on subassemblies and full systems, spanning RF/digital hardware, firmware, embedded software, and application software layers.
  • Design and implement automated tests to increase test coverage, repeatability, and overall testing efficiency.
  • Triage and troubleshoot system-level failures observed during integration and characterization to rapidly identify root causes.
  • Analyze system telemetry and test data to reproduce issues, validate software/hardware fixes, and ensure system reliability.
  • Serve as a key technical liaison to deploy Anduril's integrated hardware-software products, ensuring they meet customer and operational needs.
  • Travel to support flight tests and system demonstrations at both internal and customer-facing sites, validating Anduril's EW capabilities in real-world operational environments.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • 8+ years of relevant industry experience with a strong focus on hardware, software, and system-level verification and validation testing.

  • Highly proficient with RF test equipment, including spectrum analyzers, signal generators, multimeters, oscilloscopes, and vector network analyzers.
  • Comfortable navigating Linux environments, utilizing command-line interfaces, executing shell scripts, and working with debugging utilities.
  • Experience using programming languages such as Python or MATLAB for data parsing, telemetry analysis, and test automation.
  • Strong root-cause analysis and troubleshooting skills to resolve complex, system-level issues.
  • Ability to travel up to 40% of the time to support testing, integration, and demonstrations at remote and outdoor field sites.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong organizational and interpersonal abilities.
  • Currently hold and are able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Direct experience working with Software-Defined Radios (SDRs) and EW systems.
  • Familiarity with common wireless communication protocols and their associated test methodologies.
  • Understanding of military standards (such as MIL-STD-810 or MIL-STD-461) and spectrum regulatory test methods.
  • Thrive in fast-paced, highly autonomous environments and can execute effectively with minimal direction.
  • Experience using tools such as Jira and Confluence.
